But, Where Are The Vampires?

If you’ve read Stephenie Meyer’s page turner, Twilight, you’re familiar with Forks, Washington, www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_forks.html   

Often, I feel like I live in Forks, because, baby, it’s cold outside. Not to mention damp. Here’s what it looked like from our dock, yesterday:

And that’s during the daytime. I was dressed warm, down to my Uggs, and I still needed to turn on the heater. So, if you are in a spot where you can:

Hear a screen door slam behind you,

Feel the grass between your toes,

Watch the kids play in the sprinklers,

Complain about the heat as you pour a cool glass of lemonade or sweet tea,

Barbeque in shorts and a t-shirt,

I’m not envious – I’m flat-out jealous.

The upside, and yes, I’m really having to search for one, is its good weather to stay inside and write. Arrrrggh.

The other upside is I’m planning a trip to Savannah in late August. My completed manuscript, All Things Unusual, is set in Savannah, but my work in progress begins there, as well. I’ll arrive just in time to appreciate the historic district during a Southern summer. That’s right, I can’t wait to have sweat drip off the tip of my nose.
